Appropriate engineering controls
Engineering measures Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by the use of local exhaust ventilation
and good general extraction.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/Face Protection Tightly fitting safety goggles.
Skin and Body Protection Wear suitable protective clothing. Protective shoes or boots.
Hand Protection Nitrile rubber, Neoprene gloves
Respiratory Protection In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection.
Hygiene measures Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
